Ziyun's hands were getting a little restless, but Tsunade didn't resist at all, her pretty face blushing as she said:
"No, that's not it. I was thinking that since we're so powerful, why don't we unify the Shinobi World? After all, if we're divided up, war will probably break out again."
"Oh? When did you become interested in unifying the Shinobi World?"
Ziyun was a little curious. Tsunade's Hokage as Hokage seemed too easy. She frequented casinos and hardly did anything in the office. She left all the work to Yotsuki A and Samui.
Tsunade doesn't seem to have any ambitions, so Ziyun was still somewhat surprised that she had such thoughts.
"Since I'm in the Hokage position, these things naturally come to mind."
Tsunade chuckled lightly. In truth, given her previous lifestyle, she certainly wouldn't have thought of all this.
So many things are happening in the Shinobi World, but they have nothing to do with me. As long as the Kumogakure and the Senju Clan Members are doing well, that's all that matters.
However, after becoming Hokage, Tsunade reviewed many confidential documents that she previously did not have permission to see.
The extremely cruel side of the Shinobi World was completely exposed to Tsunade.
Human experimentation, Ninjutsu experiments, and the like were extremely cruel.
So Tsunade a pang of compassion—or rather, Tsunade inherited her grandfather Hashirama Senju's ideas.
After all, Tsunade is a member of the Senju Clan. Now that most of her worries have been resolved, she naturally wants to go further and fulfill her even greater ambitions.
These are just human instincts.
"Of course I have no objection. After all, unifying the Shinobi World can be done at any time, but we still need to ask Kushina, Mei Terumi, and Mikoto for their opinions and see if they are willing..."
Ziyun said calmly.
Given the current strength of Kumogakure, unifying the Shinobi World would be too easy. They wouldn't even need to lift a finger; their women alone would be enough to sweep across the Shinobi World.
In other words, Ziyun cared about most was what benefits he could gain from unifying the Shinobi World.
In reality, unifying the Shinobi World wouldn't be beneficial for Kumogakure. After all, the most fertile land in the entire Shinobi World is in Konoha. Now, Konoha and Kirigakure are practically vassals of Kumogakure, so it's no different from unification.
Other villages like Sunagakure and Iwagakure are poor places. If they were to be unified, it would be a waste of money to subsidize them.
However, if Tsunade has this dream, Ziyun can help her realize it. After all, Tsunade is his woman, so why not help her realize her dream? It won't take much effort anyway.
Just as Ziyun was thinking this, the system's voice came again.
[Ding~ SSS-level mission: The host will lead the Kumogakure to create a unified Shinobi World; mission rewards: 1 million mission points; Rinnegan; Kekkei Mōra; mission time: unlimited; mission failure: no penalty.]
"Alright, we're going to unify the Shinobi World."
Ziyun was taken aback; the system hadn't issued any tasks in a long time.
I didn't expect this task to be released so suddenly; it came at just the right time.
The Rinnegan and the Kekkei Mōra —these were exactly the things Ziyun wanted.
Since the system was going to give it to her for free, Ziyun decided not to use her task points to redeem it, saving herself a lot of money.
As for the saved mission points, Ziyun can use them to get Mikoto a pair of Rinnegan.
" Ziyun, why did you suddenly change your mind so quickly? Aren't you going to ask Kushina, Mei Terumi, and Mikoto?"
Tsunade was also stunned. Men really are big jerks; their change of heart is too fast.
"No need to ask their opinions, just ask them if they want to come with me."
Ziyun made a Haki decision.
Whether you ask or not, the result is the same. As long as you want to do something, Kushina and the others will agree unconditionally, except for conditions like marrying another wife.
As expected, that night Ziyun and Tsunade returned to their residence and told Kushina, Mei Terumi, Mikoto about it.
" Ziyun, do you really want to unify the Shinobi World? If you want to, then go for it. It's a great thing that will be remembered for eternity. I believe your name will one day rival that of the Sage of Six Paths..."
Kushina was the first to step forward, somewhat excited.
As Kushina said, unifying the Shinobi World is a great achievement for generations to come, and future generations might even regard Ziyun as someone on par with the Sage of Six Paths.
Kushina was naturally thrilled that her man could become such a great person.
Not only Kushina, Mei Terumi Mikoto were very excited. They never expected that Ziyun, this seemingly idle person, would have such a grand ideal.
"Lord Raikage, I was absolutely right to stay in Kumogakure. You are truly amazing, and my admiration for you has only deepened."
Konan, who always freeloaded on food, drinks, and lodging, looked at Ziyun with starry eyes.
She actually hoped that the Kumogakure would unify the Shinobi World, so that there would be no more large-scale wars in the Shinobi World.
In effect, Nagato and Yahiko's dreams have also come true.
However, Konan knew that she was insignificant and had never spoken to Ziyun about it. Moreover, given Ziyun's usual idle and carefree attitude, Konan would not say anything either.
I never imagined that the Lord Raikage would now want to unify the Shinobi World.
"I feel so embarrassed."
Seeing Konan's adoring gaze, Ziyun couldn't bear it any longer.
After all, his own ideas weren't that lofty; Ziyun had absolutely no interest in things like leaving a lasting legacy.
The reason he wanted to unify the Shinobi World (Zhao Nuo's) was for his own selfish reasons, namely the Rinnegan and the Kekkei Mōra.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's begin. Fortunately, Ōnoki and Rasa are both in Konoha. Let's detain them and negotiate."
Since Ziyun has spoken, he must do these things, and the sooner the better.
After all, Ziyun also wanted to try out the Rinnegan, a kind of advanced technology; it would be boring to come to Hokage without experiencing it.
"Okay, I'll send someone there right away."
Tsunade nodded excitedly, and then immediately sent people to detain Rasa and Ōnoki, along with their guards.
At first, Ōnoki and Rasa tried to resist, but they were completely suppressed by Yotsuki A, Killer B, and the others, so they stopped resisting and just glared hatefully at the Anbu of Kumogakure.
" Yotsuki A, Killer B, what are you doing?"
"Is this what the Fifth Hokage meant?"
Bound hand and foot, Ōnoki and Rasa were thrown into a room, glaring angrily at Yotsuki A and Killer B Kumogakure, who led the Kumogakure Anbu.
To think that someone could be so brazen as to tie himself up like that when he was the leader of a village, he was simply outrageous.
He originally wanted to leave Konoha as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Konoha to take action directly.
Ōnoki could already guess that this must be the intention of the Fourth Raikage or the Fifth Hokage.
The Kumogakure's Anbu alone wouldn't dare to do something so openly. Only Ziyun and Tsunade would dare to do such a thing.
"Just wait here, someone will contact you soon."
Yotsuki A didn't bother with the two people; they were far too weak, and she had taken them down in an instant.
It would be a waste of energy to say another word to them, so Yotsuki A left Ōnoki and Rasa in the secret room and left.
Three days later, Ziyun arrived before Ōnoki and Rasa.
For the past three Ziyun has ordered that they not be given water or food in order to wear down their willpower.
" Fourth Raikage, so it was your order after all? Why did you do this?"
The old, blind man, Ōnoki, exhausted from hunger, spoke weakly when he saw Ziyun.
Rasa was in a slightly better position, after all, he was young and in good health, and could withstand three days of hunger. Ōnoki, on the other hand, was in a much worse state.
He looked several years older after three days.
"I'm doing this for your benefit. A poor village like yours will only face ruin if it continues to develop."
Ziyun said with a smile.
"What did you say? Fourth Raikage, what exactly do you mean?!"
Rasa was furious. As the Kazekage, he was actually on equal footing with the Fourth Raikage in terms of status and position.
But every time Rasa saw Ziyun, he felt like Zi Yun's subordinate, being ordered around by him.
Now the other side is even more brazen, and they've tied themselves up.
"What do you mean? I'm just asking you, does Sunagakure still have a way out?"
"I heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has stopped funding you, so you've had to lay off a lot of civilian ninjas under the pretext of training elite ninjas."
"Right now, the daily expenses of Sunagakure depend entirely on your Magnet Release, the Fourth Kazekage, to make money. Am I right?"
Ziyun laughed, his tone full of sarcasm.
That's right, Sunagakure is too poor, unbelievably poor.
If it weren't for the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release, which allowed him to pan for gold in the sand, Sunagakure would have definitely collapsed.
Upon hearing this Rasa fell silent, for everything Ziyun said was true and he could not refute it.
"Now I'm giving you an opportunity: Sunagakure can become an annex of Kumogakure. Don't you think this is a rare opportunity?"
Ziyun smiled.
" Raikage, are you kidding me? How could Sunagakure become an appendage of Kumogakure?"
Upon hearing this, Rasa became completely enraged.
If Sunagakure becomes an appendage of Kumogakure, what authority will the Fourth Kazekage have left?
With Sunagakure becoming an annex of Kumogakure under his rule, wouldn't he be relegated to the status of the weakest Kazekage? How could Rasa tolerate that?
"Is that too much? Let me tell you, there are even more outrageous things to come."
Ziyun hadn't expected Rasa to agree so readily. The reason he spoke with Rasa first was to fulfill a promise he had made.
" The Fourth Kazekage!"
Just then, a figure appeared behind Ziyun.
With a beautiful face and a devilish figure, that was Pakura, the hero of Sunagakure who betrayed the Sunagakure several years ago.
